Appoint your own candidates (officers)

Summary:About the minimum number of officers you need

A private company limited by shares in England or Wales must have at least one director, one shareholder, and may have a secretary.

You need at least one person to form this type of company. If there is only one director, and that director is a natural person in your company, that director can also act as the secretary.

A company must have at least one director who is a natural person. This requirement is met if a natural person as a corporation holds the office of director sole or otherwise by virtue of an office.

You can register a sole director' company, if you are familiar with the secretaries duties and responsibilities, because all of them belongs to a sole director.

The directors and secretary of your company can also be shareholders.

The Companies Act imposes no restriction on the minimum age of company directors. However Companies House will actively discourage the appointment of anyone under the age of 16 from taking up a company directorship because the individuals concerned may not fully understand the legal liabilities that go with the position and for the most part will not have the experience necessary to perform the duties of a company director.

Under the Companies Act 2006, there is no restriction on any or all of the members/shareholders being from an overseas country (i.e. outside the United Kingdom in terms of residency, domicile, and citizenship, place of incorporation or all or any of those concepts). Nevertheless, this general proposition may be subject to any applicable foreign investment rules which may apply from time to time.

It is a criminal offence to appoint a non-existent, not permitted for use or fake details for the company' officers appointments.

The person with significant control (PSC)

Explanation:Meaning of the person with significant control (PSC)

From January 2016, all private companies are obliged to keep the register of persons with significant control. Since April 2016 information about the persons with significant control (PSC) need be registered at Companies House.

The information from each individual company's persons with significant control register will be given to Companies House at the same time as the confirmation statement. The confirmation statement is the successor to the annual return.

What will happen to the information given to Companies House? The idea is that the register is the public document. Therefore members of the public will be entitled to both view the persons with significant control register and search for information relating to individual companies. Every company's PSC information will be listed on the same central register and it will be free to view and search.

Who classes as a person with significant control? A person with significant control is anyone who either: -

Holds over 25% of the shares

Controls over 25% of the general meeting votes

Can control removal or appointment of the majority of a company's board

Exercises significant control or influence over a company or has the right to do so

Having the right to exercise, or actually exercising, significant influence or control over the activities of a trust or firm which is not a legal entity, but would itself satisfy any of the first four conditions if it were an individual.

Explanation:Can a nominee director or shareholder qualify as a PSC?

No. Nominee director and shareholder are generally appointed for record purposes only, and in most cases have little or no influence over the day-to-day running of the business. In this case the person who qualifies as a PSC will generally be the beneficiary or/and the person(s) who hold the general power of attorney.

Does it mean, that I need to register myself as the PSC even I ordered the nominee service?
Yes, we need to register you, or the third person, who controls the firm as the person with the significant control. Nominee director is receiving instructions from the real owner, nominee shareholder hold the company shares on behalf of the beneficiary owner, means, your nominees cannot be appeared as the person with the significant control, because they are not controlling the business at all.

The person with significant control is the applicant

The person with significant control is the company director

The person with significant control is the company shareholder

The person with significant control is another individual

Summary:About the certificate of the PSC

A certificate of person with significant control is a document used to confirm the identity of the person with significant control of a business entity. It also confirms the name of the firm, registered number, and registered office address.

A certificate of beneficial ownership is often used to prove that a particular individual is authorised to enact legally binding transactions on behalf of an entity.

Certificates of person with significant control are issued by the business formation agent. The person with significant control can produce the certificate as the evidence of his/her position within the firm to any interested party in any administrative or legal proceedings or official injury.
